Understanding Ketamine Therapy
Frequently Asked Questions

There’s a good chance you’ve heard of ketamine as a recreational substance, but its medicinal value far outweighs its party persona. For decades, ketamine has been a FDA-approved anesthetic. But it has also been proven to effectively treat symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Ketamine is safe when it is administered under the guidance of certified medical professionals. Physicians in operating rooms actually tend to favor ketamine over other anesthetics because of its low side effect profile—which is especially necessary for patients with low blood pressure and respiratory issues. Your IV ketamine treatment will be administered at an even lower dose than what is used as an anesthetic in operating rooms. Our clinic always uses the safest dosing regimen and closely monitor patients in a controlled setting to ensure maximum safety

Most insurance companies cover SPRAVATO® for treatment-resistant depression so contact us to see if you are covered. Please contact us for questions about IV ketamine pricing.

Absolutely. We know that people’s financial situations vary, and we do not want a fear of financial burden to keep you from healing. Our team is here to work with you to create a financing plan that fits your needs. Call or email us to discuss financing eligibility.

SPRAVATO® nasal esketamine spray is covered by most insurance plans for treatment-resistant depression. Most insurance companies do not currently cover ketamine for depression. We are hopeful that this will change as more published research continues to prove the efficacy of this treatment.

Call us or schedule a free consult now to find out if you are covered. We’ll do all the work to figure out if you are covered.

Yes! How you choose to care for yourself is completely up to you, but we highly encourage people to continue seeing a talk therapist or psychiatrist once they’ve started ketamine treatment. Working with a talk therapist may help you to unpack any breakthroughs you experience during a ketamine journey.

Our team prefers to receive referrals before beginning treatment, but they are not required. We find that we are able to help people achieve the best results when we are able to work with a mental health provider to better understand your history, and develop a post-treatment plan. If you are not currently seeing a psychotherapist or psychiatrist, our physicians will perform a medical and psychiatric history screening. Additionally, we can assist you with a referral to work with a ketamine-assisted psychotherapist in our expansive network.

Contact us now to schedule a free consultation. We always develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient. We can provide patients a scheduling link for treatments once we have developed a treatment plan.

During your initial consultation, we will review your medical history and symptoms to determine if ketamine is safe for you. Absolute contraindications to ketamine treatment include hypersensitivity/severe allergy to ketamine, active psychosis/mania, severe coronary artery disease, pregnancy and breastfeeding, uncontrolled hypertension, recent myocardial infarction, and intracranial aneurysms. Unfortunately, we also do not treat pediatric patients under the age of 18 at this time.

The following are relative contraindications that will be weighed on a case-by-case basis:

  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • Respiratory issues due to weight
  • Medication risks (benzodiazepines, opioids)
  • Active substance use
  • Personality disorders
  • Acute suicidal ideation
  • Past substance abuse disorder
  • Mild to moderate hypertension
  • History of epilepsy
  • Liver disease

There may be other conditions or reasons that patients might not be candidates for ketamine treatment.

Side effects from IV ketamine treatments are rare, and we conduct thorough medical pre-screenings to mitigate any chances of you feeling discomfort post-treatment. But every body is different. While most people walk away from ketamine treatment feeling relaxed and comfortable, some do report feelings of dizziness, elevated heart rate, nausea, hallucinations, and increased blood pressure. During treatment our certified physicians are always close by to monitor—don’t hesitate to let them know if you have any issues.

Ketamine is regulated by the FDA and legal for medical use in the United States when administered by certified medical providers.

Ketamine challenges the breakdown in the brain’s information synthesis capability by resetting brain structures and creating new neural connections. Patients can often achieve positive effects within hours to days from ketamine treatment. Traditional antidepressant medications usually require weeks of treatment prior to seeing effects.

We always recommend discussing dosage changes or continuation with your psychiatrist. But it is safe to continue taking antidepressants once you’ve begun ketamine treatment, as ketamine does not interact with the majority of antidepressant medications. Although it is safe to continue, many people actually are able to lower their antidepressant dosage following ketamine therapy.
